Hi guys,

I’m a beginner on unity and would like to know how to modify an existent asset, let me explain a little bit more, suppose that I downloaded an asset free from the asset store about cars so I would like to modify some cars that are already in my asset to make it unique or just because I don’t like it so much, is there a way to do that?

Thank you in advance

Altering assets we get off the Unity Assets Store??

Still not entirely certain what you are trying to do. Are you trying to change the model? You would need some 3D modeling software like Blender or Maya. Are you just trying to change its color? That can be done by modifying its material.

Hi Mike,

Let me explain with an example:
Suppose that I downloaded this spaceship asset Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making
But I don’t like it 100% so I would like to change some stuff like colors and part of the spaceship.
Questions:
A) Do I have the right (in terms of copyright) of modifying this asset?
B) I just need (in this case) to change the .png file and convert it to prefab?

This is just for a 2D asset but am I able to change any of them once they are downloaded?

Hopefully it will help.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

A) I believe you have the right to modify. You just can’t redistribute it.

B) correct

This question comes up quite a bit. Like Mike Geig writes, from the Asset Store Terms of Service and EULA:

2.2
Licensor grants to the END-USER a non-exclusive, worldwide, and perpetual license to the Asset to integrate Assets only as incorporated and embedded components of electronic games and interactive media and distribute such electronic game and interactive media. Except for game services software development kits (“Services SDKs”), END-USERS may modify Assets.
